Chase Utley and Boog Powell

The former is the slick-haired, hard-working second baseman for the Phillies. The latter was and is a friendly man -- he played first base for the Orioles during their glory days in the 1960's and early 1970's and runs "Boog's Barbecue" at Oriole Park at Camden Yards.

So what do they have in common?

Last night Utley tied Powell for the record for getting on base in the most post-season games. They now share the record at 25 games, and Utley can set it in Game 1 of the World Series.
